Muse Grup Biyografisi:

10 yil önce , Matthew Bellamy, Chris Wolstenholme ve Dominic Howard ‘ in aileleri İngiltere'nin güneyinde bulunan Devon ‘ da Teignmouth kasabasına yerleşmişlerdi. Burası eğer 13 ve 18 yaşında iseniz size cehennem gibi gelecek sıkıcı bir yaşamın sürdüğü tipik bir sahil kasabasıydı.

Vokalist / şarki sözü yazarı / gitarist / keyboardist Bellamy: "Devon bize hiçbirsey vermeyen sıkıcı bir kasabaydı. Kasaba sadece yazları Londralılar için ucuz tatil olanağı haline geldiği zamanlar yaşıyordu. Ama her yazın bitiminde turistler gider ve bütün canlılığı beraberlerinde götürürlerdi. Orada tamamen kapana kısılmış hissederdik kendimizi. Bütün arkadaşlarımız uyuşturucu ve müziğe sarıldılar , biz ikincisine yoğunlaştık , kendimize müziği kaçıp kurtulmuş gibi hissedecek biçimde yapmayı öğrettik. “ diyor. 13 yaşlarında üçlü ilk gruplarını, Gothic Plague ‘i kurdu .

90’ basları çıkmış olan indie klasiklerini cover yapıyorlardı. Gothic Plague daha sonra Fixed Penalty ve Rocket Baby Dolls adini aldı. İlgi azlığı onları engellemiyordu , aksine onları kamçılıyordu. “Acikcasi bizi hayal kırıklığına uğratmıyordu.” diyor bascı Wolsentholme. “Kendi parçalarımızı yazarak ve çalarak daha tanınır hale gelecektik. Basta birçok boş barda çaldık ama cover yapmamaya söz vermiştik ve bir daha cover yapmadık .“ İsimlerinin Muse olarak değişmesi ile birlikte olaylar çok daha ciddileşmeye başladı. “Müzik kaçmak için kullandığımız bir yol olmaktan çıktı” diyor davulcu Howard. “ Bizim için bir tutku , kendimizi anlatım yolumuz haline geldi.”

Çalışmaları çok sıklıkla olmaya başladı ve bulabildikleri her fırsatta sahneye çıkmaya başladılar. Eğer Londra ‘dan 400 km uzaklıkta oturuyorsanız bu hiç de kolay değildir. Coşkulu soundlarını , heyecanla harmanlanan görkemli vokalle, bastan çıkarıcı atmosferle, yayılmak için bekleyen sözlerle birleştirmeyi başardılar ve artık kalabalığı toplanmaya başlaması doğaldı. İnsanlar duydukları Şeyi sevdiler – Muse’un Dangerous Records‘tan çıkan iki single’i 1997 Muse ve 1998 Muscle Museum – canlı performanslarında satılmaya başlandı ve çabucak tükendi .

1998 de Muse kendini İngiltere‘nin büyük yetenek avcılarının ve birkaç amerika şirketinin odaklandığı bir grup olarak buldu. Kasımda Muse CMJ ‘de çalmak üzere New York’ a uçtu. Göz kamaştırıcı şovlarından sonra Amerikanın ilgisi çok hızlı bir şekilde büyüdü. İki hafta sonra bu sefer Los Angeles’da Santa Monica rıhtımında kendilerini göstermek için çaldılar ve diğerleri düşünürken Madonna ‘nin şirketi Maverick Recording zaman kaybetmeyip oldukça cömert bir teklifle- yaklaşık 1 milyon pound - grubu kendilerine baglamis oldu. Anlasma 1998 de noel arifesinde imzalandı. Yukarıda Muse ‘un kuruluş öyküsünü anlattım artık buradan sonra olanları sanırım herkes biliyor. O kasabalı çocuklar 1999 da ilk albümleri Showbiz ‘i piyasaya çıkardılar. Milyonlarca kopya satan bu albümle beraber Muse kazandığı ödüller ile de basarisini kanıtladı.

Bunlardan bazilari : NME Carling Premier ödülleri “Brand New Band 2000”, Q ödülleri en iyi grup ve en iyi albüm adaylıkları , Kerrang ödülleri en iyi grup ve en iyi canlı performans ödülleri.

Daha sonra Muse ’un tarzında değişikler olduğu gün gibi ortadaydı bunu belkide en iyi NME ‘nin yeni albümlerini tanıtan yazısının büyük puntalarla yazılmış baslığından anlayabiliriz “Revelation of the 2000”


Başka Bir Açıdan MUSE SERÜVENİ

Yaşları 25 civarında olan İngiliz üçlü grup Muse, punk ve progressive rock'ı birleştiriyor. Birçok progressive rocker gibi çalışmaları operaya benziyor; sağlam bir altyapı üstüne Matt Bellamy'nin soprano aryalarını dinliyoruz. İlk albümlerinin yapımcılığını Radiohead'in The Bends albümünün de yapımcısı olan John Leckie üstlenmiş fakat Nirvana ve Tom Waits'ten olduğu kadar Jeff Buckley ve Deftones'tan da esinlenen Muse'u Radiohead taklidi olarak nitelendirmek çok acımasız olur...

Güney İngiltere'de küçük bir şehirde Muse grubunu kuran üç delikanlının, bulundukları can sıkıcı, tekdüze ortamdan müzik yaparak uzaklaşmaktan başka amaçları yoktu başlangıçta... Matthew Bellamy (gitar, vocal), Chris Wolstenholme (bass) and Dominic Howard (drums) çok erken yaşlarda bir araya geldiler ve birlikte müzik yapmaya başladılar...

13 yaşında Gothic Plague adında ilk kayıtlarını yaptılar. Basta Chris, davulda Dominic ve Matthew gitarist ve solist olarak yer aldı; 90'ların hit şarkılarının kendi soundlarıyla coverlarını yaptılar; bu onlara önemli bir başarı getirmedi; Gothic Plague'dan sonra Fixed Penalty, ve ardından Rocket Baby Dolls...

Grup üylerinin söylediklerine göre, bu başarısızlık onları yıldırmadı tam aksine daha da hırslandırdı. Daha seçici davranarak ve daha özenli çalışarak kendi şarkı sözlerini yazmaya, bestelerini yapmaya başladılar ve bir daha asla cover yapmayacaklarına yemin ettiler. Kendi şarkılarını seslendirmeye başladıklarında da her şey bir anda değişmedi, izleyicisiz konserler veriyorlardı...
Müzikte kendi kimliklerini ve tarzlarını arayışları devam etti. Britpop onlara klişe ve tutkusuz geliyordu, (Britpop, 90'ların başından günümüze dek, İngiltere'nin popüler grupları -özellkle alternatif rock grupları- için kullanılan genel bir tanımlama) kendi müziklerinin bu kategoride olmasını istemiyorlardı. Bütün ülke Blur ve Oasis'e kilitlenmişken onlar ilgilerini Atlantik'in öteki yakasına çevirdiler. Günler ve geceler boyu Amerikan alternatif rock gruplarını dinleyip incelerken, dinlemekten asla vazgeçemedikleri iki albüm vardı: Nirvana- Nevermind ve Radiohead- The Bends; bu iki albüm onlara müziğin anlamıyla ilgili net bir fikir veriyordu...

Bu ciddi arayış sonrasında ne yapacaklarına karar verdiklerinde "Muse" adını aldılar ve her şey esas bu noktada başlamış oldu. Müzik artık bi kaçış olmanın ötesinde bir tutku haline gelmişti onlar için... Provalar daha da sıklaştı, özellikle canlı performans fırsatlarını kaçırmamaya çalışıyorlardı, küçük büyük bir çok salonda sahne alıyorlardı. Daha hırçın bir müzik, atom-smashing gitar ve görkemli bir vokal, derin ve bol kelime oyunlu şarkı sözleri... Bütün bunlar Muse'u kendi tarzına ulaştırmıştı. İlk iki single Muse (1997) ve Muscle Museum(1998) ilk önemli başarıları oldu. insanlar bu dinledikleri şey her neyse, gerçekten hoşlanıyorlardı... Bu iki single'ın yanına canlı performaslarını da ekleyerek "Dangerous Records" adında bir bantta birleştirdiler. Giderek merak uyandırıyorlardı ve basınının kendilerine olan ilgisi artmıştı; New York'taki CMJ festivaline davet edildiler, Mercury Lounge'daki olağanüstü şovlarından sonra Amerika'da da ilgi uyandıran bir grup haline geldiler... Bundan bir yıl sonra Maverick Records'la antlaştılar ve ilk albümleri Showbiz'i Eylül 1999'da çıkardılar.

Showbiz New Musical Express dergisinde haftanın albümü seçildiğinde şöyle bir başlık atılmıştı : "Muse'a bakın, bu kadar genç insanların nasıl olup da böyle iç acıtan şarkılar yapabildiklerini merak edeceksiniz..." ve başlık şu ifadeyle devam ediyordu: "Muse öyle bir müzik yapıyor ki hem rock müzik tutkunlarına hem de duygusal romantiklere hitap ediyor... balo saonunda dans ettiren punk şiirler... gözlerindeki ateşle ve damarlarındaki cesaretle... Bu grup çok büyük olacak..."

Muse'un şarkı sözleri gerçekten, kelimenin tam anlamıyla iç acıtıyordu. "Size tuhaf gelebilir ama bu şarkıların nereden geldiğiyle ilgili olarak hiçbir fikrim yok" diyor Bellamy ve ekliyor, " açıkçası bunların içimden, derinlerde bir yerden çıkığını düşünüyorum ama nasıl olduğunu anlamıyorum, dürüst olmak gerekirse anlamak da istemiyorum; bir gün bunun yanıtını bulursam kaybedeceğimden korkuyorum..."

PAYLAŞIM İÇİN TEŞEKKÜRLERRRRRRRR!!!

EMEĞE SAYGIII

Adı : Matthew James Bellamy
Lakap : Bells
Doğum : 9 Haziran 1978
Gruptaki Görevi : Gitar, Vokal, Klavye... , Söz Yazarlığı , Bestede Yapar
Matt Bellamy 9 Haziran 1978'de Cambridge'de dünyaya gelir. Annesi Marilyn kendisini Belfast'tan İngiltere'ye getiren vapurdan iner inmez Matt'in babasıyla tanışır. O sırada taksi şöförlüğü yapmakta olan George Bellamy bir dönem '60'ların hatrı sayılır surf rock grubu The Tornados'da gitar çalmıştır. Henüz 5 yaşındayken ailesinin aldığı kararla Devon'a taşınan Matt enstrüman çalmaya on yaşında başlar. Müziği dinleyerek piyanoda kendi başına çıkardığı ilk şarkılar Ray Charles'dandır. Abisi Paul'un The Wedding Present ve The Smiths şarkılarını çıkarması yönündeki tavsiyelerini pek kaale almayan Matt daha sonraları, yine kendi çabalarıyla gitar çalmayı öğrenir. İlk Muse albümünde yer alan bazı şarkılara ilham kaynağı olan boşanma olayı ise Matt henüz 13 yaşındayken gerçekleşir.George Bellamy evden ayrılır , Matt ise abisi Paul ve annesi ile birlikte Devon'da yaşamaya devam eder. Matt Bellamy imzalı şarkılara hakim olan karanlık atmosferin ve şarkılarda bahsi geçen doğaüstü mevzuların çıkış noktası sadece boşanma olayı değilir aslında. Quija tahtasıyla (ruh çağırmada kullanılan tahta) ruh çağıran ve gerçek bir medyum olan annesi, Matt bu olayı keşfettiğinde oğlunu ortamdan uzaklaştırmak yerine yanına çağırmış ve deneyimlerini Matt ile paylaşmaktan çekinmemiştir. Öbür taraftakilerle bağlantı kurmaya henüz 9 yaşında başlayan Matt'in yıllar sonra müzik dergilerine "I See Dead People" (ölüleri görüyorum) gibi başlıklara konu olmasına da şaşırmamak gerekiyor bu durumda.

Doğum : 7 Aralık 1977
Gruptaki görevi : Davulcu

Dominic Howard da Matthew Bellamy gibi Devon'a hemen hemen 8 yaşlarındayken gelmiş. "Fakat Matthew'le farkımız, benim ailemde müzikle ilgilenen birinin olmamasıydı. Ablam güzel sanatlarda okudu, belki bunun etkileri olmuştur üzerimde ama müzikle bir alakası yoktur sanırım. Açıkçası küçükken müzik benim için televizyonda duyduğum bir şeydi; en azından liseye gidene kadar öyleydi. Lisede çok iyi bir jaz grubu vardı ve o sayede müzikle ilgilenmeye başladım..." Ayrıca şebek bir kişiliğe sahip olduğunu söyleyebiliriz.

Doğum : 2 Aralık 1978
Gruptaki Görevi : Bass çalıyo.

Chris Wolstenholme, Yorkshire'da doğmuş ama annesi Devon'lu ve 11 yaşına geldiğinde bütün aile Devon'a yerleşmiş. "Ailemde hiç müzisyen yok, ama annem iyi bir müzik dinleyicisiydi, eve sürekli olarak yeni çıkan albümler alınırdı" diyor. En dikkat çekici özelliklerinden biride konserlerdeki kafa sallamasıdır (Bi konser kopcak o kafa sallarken). Ayrıca kuzeni Matt Bellamy'ye aşık. Kuzenin daha çocuk olduğunu da hatırlatalım.

MUSE HAKKINDA AZ BİLİNENLER

• Showbiz albümüne Yunan ve İspanyol soundlarının etki etmesinin nedeni; Matt Bellamy'nin bu ülkelerde büyük aşklar yaşamasıymış. (Yeni albümde italyan soundu gelirse şaşırmayalım.)

• Sunburn'deki piyano melodisini bir DJ Shadow şarkısından esinlenerek yazmış , vokalleri kaydederken ise orduların tanklarda kullandığı mikrofonlardan kullanmış.

• Muse üyelerinin altında sahne almayı hayal ettikler isimler şunlarmış; Jimi Hendrix ve Elvis Presley

• Matt Bellamy'nin en büyük fetişi kadın çoraplarıymış. Uzun, kısa, dantelli yada spor, hangi tür olursa olsun , Matt Bellamy çorap giyen kadın görünce fena oluyormuş.

• Muse basçısı lise aşkıyla on yılı aşkın bir süredir mutlu bir beraberlik sürdürüyor. 3.çocukları olmasına rağmen sevgili formatında takılan çift sonunda 2003 aralığında evlenebildi.

• Matt Bellamy'nin ilk ilişkisi de baya uzun sürmüş. (16 yaşından 22'ye kadar.) Söz konusu sevgilisinden ayrıldıktan sonra teselliyi groupie'lerde arayan Matt şimdilerde italyan bayanla aşk yaşıyor. Hatta Matt durmadan İtalyaya gider olmuş.

• Muse üyeleri pokere kafayı takmış durumdalar. Sahne arkasından , konserden sonra poker oynuyorlarmış. Sonu ne olcak merakla bekliyoruz.

• Matt Bellamy tam bir kırmızı şarap hastası , grubun davulcusu Dominic Howard ise birayı tercih ediyor ve aşırı derecede sigara içiyor. Bi başka sigara tiryakisi ise basçı Chiris. İkiside bırakmayı denemişler ama ne mümkün .

• Muse üyelerinin en favori şarkıları şöyle; Matt-Bliss , Dominic-Citizen Erased , Chris-Space Dementia .

• Matt Bellamy'nin Londra'daki ilk evindeki arkaşı uyuşturucu satıcısıymış. Ev hergün ,her türlü bağımlı tiple dolup taşıyormuş. Matt'de gördüğü insan manzaralarından sonra eroin ve kokain gibi A-Class uyuşturuculara asla dokunmama kararını almış.

ONLAR NE DEMİŞ / MUSE'dan ALINTILAR

• Teignmouth gerçekten çok sıkıcı bi yerdi , sürekli canımız sıkılırdı ve bu yüzden zaman geçirmek için saçma sapan şeyler yapardık. Yaptığımız en asice şey ise gizlice başkalarının bahçesine girip yüzme havuzlarına atlamaktı. Ne kadar vahim durumda durumda olduğumuzu görüyorsunuz değil mi? (Matt Bellamy)

• Muse kurulmadan önce çok duygusal olduğunu düşündüğüm blues türü müzikleri dinlerdim. Ray Charles ve Robert Johnson tam bana göreydi, bu müziğin herşeyiyle beni anlattığını düşünüyordum. (Matt Bellamy) (Neden blues şarkılara cover yapıldığını anlamış olduk.)

• Dünyanın sonunun gelmesine sayılı dakikalar kaldığını bilsem dinleyeceğim son şarkı Captain Beefheart'dan " I'm Gonna Booglarize Your Baby" olurdu. (Matt Bellamy)

• Bu işe ilk başladığımızda çok iyi müzisyenler değildik. Bu durum benim müziğe olan bakış açımıda tamamen değiştirdi. Müziğin teknik anlamda yeterli olmakla alakalı olmadığını ,tavır ve duygunun başarı getirdiğini kavradım. (Matt Bellamy)

• Showbiz'deki şarkıları oluşturmaya başladığımızda Teignmouth'daydı, herhangi bir plak şirketine verilmiş bir sözümüz, albümü belli bir tarihe yetiştirme zorunluluğumuz yoktu. Origin of smymetry ise biraz daha sancılı bir dönemden geçti. Turneler , kontratlar vs. gibi şeylerin ne demek olduğunu anlamış ve bu albümü öyle bir ruh haliyle hazırlamaya başlamıştık. Origin of Symmetry kafamızın epey karışık olduğu dönemi temsil eder bu yüzden. (Dominic Howard)

• Radiohead'le tek ortak noktamız bizimde Jeff Buckley'den ilham almamız olabilir. Açık konuşayım o grubun (Radiohead demek istiyor) sevdiğim bir kaç işi var ama sadece o kadar. Kötü olduklarını söylemiyorum, bana hitap etmiyorlar, o kadar. Ve yine kişisel fikirimi söleyeyim , bence yaptığımız müziğin onlarınkiyle uzaktan yakından alakası yok , özellikle de canlı performansımızın. (Matt Bellamy)

• Showbiz'den sonra (ikinci albüm hazırlıkları başlamadan önce) beni etkileyen bir kaç film oldu, "Being John Malkovich " , "The Matrix" ve "Fightclub" gibi. Çok etkilendim çünkü izledikten sonra "işte bunlar benim düşüncelerim" dediğim ilk fimlerdi.

• "Otel odalarını dağıtıyormuyum, sahnede enstrümanlarımı parçalıyormuyum." Bunlar artık fazlasıyla klişe değil mi? diye soruyorlar bana. Evet, genelde öyle ama benim için değil. Neden? Çünkü ben çok gencim ve buda benim ilk grubum. Diğer rock starlar bu çılgınlıkları zamanında çokca yapmış olabilirler ama üzgünüm, benim için her şey çok yeni, dolasıyla klişe değil.(Matt Bellamy)

• Londra'da kendime ait bir evim var. Turneler yüzünden evimde çok fazla vakit geçiremiyorum ama olsun. Londra'da yaşamanın en büyük avantajı yılın her zamanı , hatta her gün konser izleme şansına sahip olmak. Sadece rock konserleri değil klasik müzik ,caz gibi pek çok seçenek var. Londrayı tam anlamıyla terk etmeyi hiç düşünmedim ama 6 aylığına bile olsa New York'ta yaşama gibi bir idealim var.(Matt Bellamy)

• İlk konserlerimize çıktığımız tipik Devon barlarında insanlar sadece oturur, içki içer ve televizyonda VH-1'ı izlerlerdi. Sahnede bir grup görmek istemezlerdi, öylece oturup durmaktan yanaydılar. Bizi kimsenin iplediği yoktu yani. (Dominic Howard)

• Bu hayat tazrı o kadarda yorucu değil, hatta şikayet edemeyeceğimiz kadar eğlenceli aslına bakılırsa. İyi besleniyoruz, iyi içioyoruz , diğer gruplarla iyi vakit geçiriyoruz. Acayip ilginç insanlarla tanışıyoruz. (Matt Bellamy)

• Matt Bellamy'den NewBorn: " Geriye dönüp okula devam ettiğim günleri hatırlıyorum. Hiçbir zaman orada değilmişim aslında. Yani bedenim görevini yapıyormuş ama aklım başka yerlerdeymiş. Şimdi odaklandığımı farkedebiliyorum, şu an her şeyi ilk kez görüyorum sanki. Bu çok garip, kendimi 'yeni doğmuş' (ikinci Muse albümü Origin of Symmetry yeni doğan anlamına gelen NewBorn şarkısıyla açılıyor.) gibi hissediyorum.

• Mümkün olduğunca çok kadın toplamaya çalışıyoruz, özellikle duşa. Sonra onları videoya çekiyoruz ve TV'de izliyoruz. (Dominic Howard)

• Matthew buluşma hikayelerini şu şekilde anlatıyor: "12-13 yaşlarındaydık. Ben önce Chris'le tanıştım. Okulda çok sayıda grup vardı. Hemen hemen her öğrencinin bir grubu vardı. Ben de bu gruplardan birinde piyano çalıyordum, Chris başka bir gruptaydı ama tanışıyorduk. Dominic populer bir gruptaydı, herkes o grupta olmak isterdi. İşte bu yüzden gitar çalmaya başladım; daha iyi bir grupta olmayı hakediyorum diye düşünüyordum (kahkahalar). Daha sonra gruplarına yeni bir gitarist gerektiğinde şansımı denemek istedim ve Dominic'le arkadaşlık kurduk. Sonraki iki yıl bir sürü sorun yaşadık, gruba yeni üyeler geliyor ve kısa süre sonra gidiyorlardı. Sadece Dominic ve ben sabittik. Sanırım bunun sorumlusu benim! (kahkahalar) Herneyse, o sıralarda beste yapmaya başladım. Fakat bir basçıya ihtiyacımız vardı. Dediğim gibi Chris'i tanıyordum ama o zamanlar Chris davul çalıyordu. Onun yetenekli ve ciddi bir adam olduğunu düşünüyordum, bu yüzden ona bas çalmasını teklif ettim; o da kabul etti. Hiç şüphesiz biz eğlence olsun diye müzik yapıyorduk. 18-19 yaşlarına geldiğimizde iş ciddileşti. O zaman üniversiteye gidecek miydik gitmeyecek miydik, karar vermek zorundaydık. Arkadaşlarımızın çoğu müziği bırakmış, kendilerini derslerine vermişlerdi ve geleceklerini düşünüyorlardı. Biz artık okulla ilgilenmediğimizi anladık; istediğimiz şey gruba devam etmekti; para kazanmak için ufak tefek işlerde çalışmayı göze almıştık. Bu kararı almak çok kolay olmadı ama şimdi düşünüyorum da, her halükarda okuldan zaten nefret ediyordum..."

1. SUNBURN

Come waste your millions here
Secretly she sneers
Another corporate show
A guilty conscience grows
I'll feel a guilty conscience grow
I'll feel a guilty conscience grow

She burns like the sun
And I can't look away
And she'll burn our horizons make no mistake

Come let the truth be shared
No-one ever dared
To break these endless lies
Secretly she cries

She burns like the sun
And I can't look away
And she'll burn our horizons make no mistake

And I'll hide from the world
Behind a broken frame
And I'll burn forever
I can't face the shame

And I'll hide from the world
Behind a broken frame
And I'll burn forever
I can't face the shame


2. MUSCLE MUSEUM

She had something to confess to
But you don’t have the time so
Look the other way
You will wait until it's over
To reveal what you’d never shown her
Too little much too late
Too long trying to resist it
You’ve just gone and missed it
It's escaped your world

Can you see that I am needing
Begging for so much more
Than you could ever give
And I don’t want you to adore me
Don’t want you to ignore me
When it pleases you
And I’ll do it on my own

I have played in every toilet
But you still want to spoil it
To prove I’ve made a big mistake
Too long trying to resist it
You’ve just gone and missed it
It's escaped your world

Can you see that I am needing
Begging for so much more
Than you could ever give
And I don’t want you to adore me
Don’t want you to ignore me
When it pleases you
And I’ll do it on my own
I’ll do it on my own

I’m falling down
And fifteen thousand people scream
They were all begging for your dream
I’m falling down
Five thousand houses burning down
No-one is gonna save this town

Too late
I already found what I was looking for
You know it wasn’t here
No it wasn’t here

I was calling your name
But you would never hear me sing
You wouldn’t let me begin
So I’m crawling away
'Cause you broke my heart in two
No, I will not forget you

Too late
I already found what I was looking for
You know it wasn’t you
No, it wasn’t you
Noooooo

Falling away
You would never see me through
No, I could not forget you
Falling down
Five thousand house burning down
No-one is gonna save this town

Too late
I already found what I was looking for
You know it wasn’t you
No, it wasn’t you
No

Falling down
Now the world is upside down
I’m heading straight for the clouds

It's got nothing to do with you
And there's nothing that you could do

You can see it and you can almost hear it too
You can almost taste it
It's nothing to do with you
And it's still nothing that you can do

So come in my cave
And I’ll burn your heart away
Come in my cave
I’ll burn your heart away

Please close your ears
And try to look away
So you never hear a single word I say
And don’t ever come my way

Leave me alone
It's nothing serious
I’ll do it myself
It's got nothing to do with you
And there's still nothing that you could do

So come in my cave
And I’ll burn your heart away
Come in my cave
And arrest me for my mistakes

First there was the one who challenged
All my dreams and all my balance
She could never be as good as you

You could be my unintended

This means nothing to me
'Cause you are nothing to me
And it means nothing to me
That you blew this away

'Cause you could have been number one
If you only found the time
And you could have ruled the whole world
If you had the chance

You could have been number one
And you could have ruled the whole world
And we could have had so much fun
But you blew it away

You're still nothing to me
And this is nothing to me
And you don't know what you've done
But I'll give you a clue

You could have been number one
If you only had the chance
And you could have ruled the whole world
If you had the time

You could have been number one
And you could have ruled the whole world
And we could have had so much fun
But you blew it away

You could have been number one
And you could have ruled the whole world
And we could have had so much fun
But you blew it away


9. SOBER

Royal Canadian blended
The spicy aroma had mended me
Matured for years and imported
Into my glass you poured it

And you're the only reason
That I remain unfrozen
Suppose it stands to reason
That you would turn on me

You're so solid
You're so solid
It burns inside of me
Cause you're so solid
It burns inside of me

The wild turkey's been chosen
Its caramel nose could smell me
Arbourler/Jameson I love you
The single malts came burning

And you're the only reason
That I remain unfrozen
Suppose it stands to reason
That you would turn on me

You're so solid
You're so solid
It burns inside of me
Cause you're so solid
It burns inside of me

Royal Canadian Blended
The spicy aroma had mended me
And you're the only reason
That I remain unfrozen
Suppose it stands to reason
That you would turn on me

You're so solid
You're so solid
It burns inside of me
Cause you're so solid
It burns inside of me


10. ESCAPE

You would say anything
You would try anything
To escape your meaningless
And your insignificance
You're uncontrolable
And we are unloveable

And I don’t want you to think that I care
I never would
I never could
Again

Why can’t you just love her?
Why be such a monster?
You bully from a distance
Your brain needs some assistance

But I’ll still take all the blame
'Cause you and me are both one and the same
And it's driving me mad
And it's driving me mad
I’ll take back all the things that I said
I didn't realise I was always talking to the living dead

And I don’t want you to think that I care
I never would
I never could
Again

You would say anything
You would try anything
To escape your meaningless
And your insignificance


11. OVERDUE

You needed it when I was away
And no matter what I say
Your'll never forget when I wasn't there so
Why should I care?
I'm young but I know that I'm aroused

You know that I care
You should have been there
You know that I care
You should have been there

It doesn't matter where I have gone
I just can't afford to
Pay for all the mistakes that you have made
It's about time I was paid

I'm young but I know that I'm aroused

You know that I care
You should have been there
You know that I care
You should have been there

You know that I care
You should have been there
You know that I care
You should have been there

You know that I care
You should have been there
You know that I care
You should have been there


12. HATE THIS & I'LL LOVE YOU

Oh I am growing tired
Of allowing you to steal
Everything I have
You're making me feel
Like I was born to service you
But I am growing by the hour

You left us far behind
So we all discard our souls
And blaze through your skies
So unafraid to die

'Cause I was born to destroy you
And I am growing by the hour
And I'm getting strong in every way
Yeah, Yeah

You led me on
You led me on
You

Oh, and I'm getting strong in every way
Yeah, Yeah

1. NEW BORN

Link it to the world
Link it to yourself
Stretch it like a birth squeeze
The love for what you hide
The bitterness inside
Is growing like the new born
When you've seen, seen
Too much, too young, young
Soulless is everywhere

Hopeless time to roam
The distance to your home
Fades away to nowhere
How much are you worth
You can't come down to earth
You're swelling up, you're unstoppable

'cause you've seen, seen
Too much, too young, young
Soulless is everywhere

Destroy the spineless
Show me it's real
Wasting our last chance
To come away
Just break the silence
'cause I'm drifting away
Away from you

Link it to the world
Link it to yourself
Stretch it like it's a birth squeeze
And the love for what you hide
And the bitterness inside
Is growing like the new born

When you've seen, seen
Too much, too young, young
Soulless is everywhere

Destroy the spineless
Show me it's real
Wasting their last chance
To come away
Just break the silence
'cause I'm drifting away
Away from you


2. BLISS

Everything about you is how I'd wanna be
Your freedom comes naturally
Everything about you resonates happiness
Now I won't settle for less

Give me
all the peace and joy in your mind

Everything about you pains my envying
Your soul can't hate anything
Everything about you is so easy to love
They're watching you from above

Give me
all the peace and joy in your mind
I want the peace and joy in your mind
Give me the peace and joy in your mind

Everything about you resonates happiness
Now I won't settle for less

Give me
all the peace and joy in your mind
I want the peace and joy in your mind
Give me the peace and joy in your mind


3. SPACE DEMENTIA

Height - is the one for me
It gives me all I need
And helps me coexist
With the chill

You make me sick
Because I adore you so
I love all the dirty tricks
And twisted games you play
On me

Space dementia in your eyes
Peace will arise
and tear us apart
And make us meaningless again

You'll make us wanna die
I'd cut your name in my heart
We'll destroy this world for you
I know you want me to feel your pain

Space dementia in your eyes
Peace will arise
And tear us apart
And make us meaningless again


4. HYPER MUSIC

Your golden lies feed my role
In this forgotten space race under my control
Who's returned from the dead?
Who remains (just to spit it in your face)

You know I don't want you and I never did
I don't want you and I never will

You wanted more than I was worth
And you think I was scared
And you needed proof
Who really cares anymore?
Who restrains?

You know I don't love you and I never did
I don't want you and I never will


5. PLUG IN BABY

I've exposed your lies, baby
The underneath is no big surprise
Now it's time for changing
And cleansing everything
To forget your love

My plug in baby
Crucifies my enemies
When I'm tired of giving
My plug in baby
In unbroken virgin realities
Is tired of living

Don't confuse
Baby you're gonna lose
You're own game
Change me
And place the envying
To forget your love

My plug in baby
Crucifies my enemies
When I'm tired of giving
My plug in baby
In unbroken virgin realities
Is tired of living

And I feel your loving,
mine is gone
And I've been in trouble


6. CITIZEN ERASED

Break me in, teach us to cheat
And to lie and cover up
What shouldn't be shared?
All the truth unwinding
Scraping away at my mind
Stop asking me to describe

For one moment
I wish you'd hold your stage
With no feelings at all
Open minded
I'm sure I used to be so free

Self expressed, exhausting for all to see
And to be what you want
And what you need
And the truth unwinding
Scraping away at my mind
Please stop asking me to describe
For one moment
I wish you'd hold your stage
With no feelings at all
Open minded,
I'm sure I used to be so free

For one moment
I wish you'd hold your stage
With no feelings at all
Open minded
I'm sure I used to be so free

Wash me away
Clean your body of me
Erase all the memories
They will only bring us pain
And I've seen all I'll ever need


7. MICRO CUTS

Hands are red with your blame
Megaphone screaming my name
Whimpers someone I should've loved
Souls weeping above

I've seen
what you're doing to me
Destroying puppet strings
To our soul

Micro waves me insane
A blaine cuts in your brain
To sounds like forks on a plate
Blackboard scratched with hate

I've seen
What you're doing to me
Destroying puppet strings
To our soul


8. SCREENAGER

Who's so phoney and always surrounded?
Stop your screaming - no one can hear
All the scars on your skin: 'post no bills'

Who you were
Was so beautiful
Remember who
Who you where

Hide from the mirror - the cracks and the memories
Hide from your family - they won't know you now
For all the holes in our soul host no thrills

Who you were
Was so beautiful
Memories who -
Who you where


9. DARK SHINES

Passing by you light up my darkest skies
you'll takes only seconds to drawme in
so be mine and your innocence
I will consume

Dark shines
bringing me down
making my heart feel sore
'cause it's good

Hold your hands up to your eyes again
hide from the scary scenes,
suppress your fears
so be mine and your innocence
I will consume


10. FEELING GOOD

Birds flying high
You know how I feel
Sun in the sky
You know how I feel
Reeds drifting on by
You know how I feel
Its a new dawn
Its a new day
Its a new life for me
And I'm feeling good

Fish in the sea
You know how I feel
River running free
You know how I feel
Blossom in the trees
You know how I feel
Its a new dawn
Its a new day
Its a new life for me
And I'm feeling good

Dragonflies all out in the sun
You know what I mean
Don't you know
Butterflies are all having fun
You know what I mean
Sleep in peace
When the day is done
And this old world
Is a new world
And a bold world
For me

Stars when you shine
You know how I feel
Scent of the pine
You know how I feel
Yeah freedom is mine
And you know how I feel

Its a new dawn
Its a new day
Its a new life
For me
And I'm feeling goood!

Ooooh
Freeer than you
Feeling good


11. MEGALOMANIA

Paradise comes at a price
That I am not prepared to pay
What were we built for?
Could someone tell me please

The good news is, she can't have babies
And wont accept gifts from me
What are they for?
They'll just grow up and break the laws you've loved

Take off your disguise
And all your underneath it's me
Who are you oooh

Useless device, it won't suffice
I want a new game to play
When I am gone - it won't be long
Before I disturb you in the dark

And paradise comes at a price
That I am not prepared to pay
What were we built for?
Will someone tell me please

Take off your disguise
I know that the underneath its me


Bonustract. FUTURISM

Ignorance pulls
Apostasy and apathy still rules
Yeah you know it´s cool
Just suck and see
A future turns us into silent gods
And I won´t miss you at all

Grounded
Boxed in
Like the evil in your veins
Grounded
Boxed in
I am stuck with you

Fate can´t decide
Alignment of the plan is in your hands
Come on crush our plans
Just wait and see
A future that won´t let you disagree
And I won´t miss you at all

Grounded
Boxed in
Like the evil in your veins
Grounded
Boxed in
I am stuck with you

Feel it, hear it, apathy
See it, be it, you’ll see

4. SING FOR ABSOLUTION

lips are turning blue
a kiss that can't renew
I only dream of you
my beautiful

tiptoe to your room
a starlight in the gloom
I only dream of you
and you never knew

sing for absolution

falling from your grace

6. FALLING AWAY WITH YOU

I can't remember when it was good
moments of happiness elude
maybe I just misunderstood
all of the love we left behind
watching our flash backs intertwine
memories I will never find
inspite of whatever you become
forget the reckless things we've done
I think our lives have just begun
I think our lives have just begun

and I'll feel my world crumbling
I'll feel my life crumbling
I'll feel my soul crumbling away
falling away
falling away with you

staying awake to chase a dream
tasting the air you're breathing in
I hope I won't forgot a thing
I wish to hold you close and pray
watching our fantasies decay
nothing will ever stay the same
and all of the love we threw away
and all of the hopes we've cherished fade
making the same mistakes again
making the same mistakes again

and I'll feel my world crumbling
I'll feel my life crumbling
I'll feel my soul crumbling away
and falling away
falling away with you

all of the love we left behind
watching our flash backs intertwine
memories I will never find
memories I will never find

4. MAP OF THE PROBLEMATIQUE

Fear, and panic in the air
I want to be free
From desolation and despair
And I feel like everything I saw
Is being swept away
When I refuse to let you go

I can't get it right
Get it right
Since I met you

Loneliness be over
When will this loneliness be over

Life will flash before my eyes
So scattered almost
I want to touch the other side
And no one thinks they are to blame
Why can't we see
That when we bleed we bleed the same

I can't get it right
Get it right
Since I met you

Loneliness be over
When will this loneliness be over
Loneliness be over
When will this loneliness be over


5. SOLDIER’S POEM

Throw it all away
Let's lose ourselves
'Cause there’s no one left for us to blame
It's a shame we're all dying
And do you think you deserve your freedom

How could you send us all far away from home
When you know damn well that this is all
I would still lay down my life for you
And do you think you deserve your freedom

No I don't think you do
There's no justice in the world
There's no justice in the world
And there never was

Follow through
Make your dreams come true

Stand up for what you believe
And tonight
We can truly say
Together we're invincible

During the struggle
They will pull us down
But please, please
Let's use this chance
To turn things around
And tonight
We can truly say
Together we're invincible

Do it on your own
It makes no difference to me
What you leave behind
What you choose to be
And whatever they say
Your souls unbreakable

During the struggle
They will pull us down
But please, please
Let's use this chance
To turn things around
And tonight
We can truly say

8. EXO-POLITICS

Open skies over me
I am waiting patiently
I wait for a sign

As conspiracies unwind
Will you slam shut
Or free your mind
Or stay hypnotised

When the Zetas fill the skies
Will our leaders tell us why
Fully loaded satellites
We can't get nothing but our minds

And i've waited patiently
And I wait for the sign

Carried through the centuries
Secrets locked up
And loaded on my back
Well it weights me down

When the Zetas fill the skies
It's just our leaders in disguise
Fully loaded satellites
We can't get nothing but our minds

I'm waiting patiently
And I'll wait for the sign, yeah
And I'm waiting patiently
And i'll wait for the sign


9. CITY OF DELUSION

Stay away from me
Build a fortress
And shield your beliefs
Touch the divine
As we fall in line

Can I believe
When I don't trust
All your theories
Turn to dust
I choose to hide
From the all seeing eye

Destroy this City of Delusion
Break these walls down
I will avenge
Justify my reasons
With your blame

You'll not rest
Settle for less
Until you guzzle
And squander what’s left
Do not deny
That you live and let die

Destroy this City of Delusion
Break these walls down
I will avenge
Justify my reasons
With your blame

Destroy this City of Delusion
Break these walls down
I will avenge
Justify my reasons
With your blame


10. HOODOO

Come into my life
Regress into a dream
We will hide
Build a new reality
Draw another picture
Of the life you could have had
Follow your instincts
And choose the other path

You should never be afraid
You're protected from trouble and pain
Why, why is this a crisis in your eyes again

Taught to be
How did it come to be
Tied to a railroad
You'll have to set us free
Watch our souls fade away
Let our bodies crumble away
Don't be afraid

I will take the cold for you

And i've had recurring nightmares
That I was loved for who I am
And missed the opportunity
To be a better man


11. KNIGHTS OF CYDONIA

Come ride with me
Through the veins of history
I'll show you how god
Falls asleep on the job

And how can we win
When fools can be kings
Don't waste your time
Or time will waste you

No one's gonna take me alive
The time has come to make things right
You and I must fight for our rights
You and I must fight to survive

No one's gonna take me alive
The time has come to make things right
You and I must fight for our rights
You and I must fight to survive

No one's gonna take me alive
The time has come to make things right
You and I must fight for our rights
You and I must fight to survive

No one's gonna take me alive
The time has come to make things right
You and I must fight for our rights
You and I must fight to survive

maşallah
